Students create paper cuttings based on the theme of Minor Snow – the term in the Chinese lunar calendar referring to the onset of snow each year -- in Hohhot, in North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, on Nov 21. The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Minor Snow, (xiao xue in Chinese), the 20th solar term of the year, begins on Nov 22 and ends on Dec 6. Minor Snow refers to the time when it starts to snow, mostly in China's northern areas, and the temperature continues to drop. [Photo/Inner Mongolia Daily]
